Anjani's Blog

The very best thing you can do for the whole world is to make the most of yourself.

It’s been a while since I last wrote something and because I decided to pick up some old hobby’s and “reanimate” where I left off, here I am again with a new blog. So much has happened in the past months, we even landed in 2024 already! Today I choose to write about the power of growth….

Because we are all unique, we react differently in situations. While some have the ability to stay calm and focused, others are all over the place, panic and loose it completely. It’s easy to judge and have an opinion about all these reactions. But only the person in the situation knows how, what or why. And sometimes you think back about something that happened when you were younger and think, how come I handled that so poorly? So what can we do? We can grow … we can choose to grow …..

When I look at myself, I can surely say: I have said things to people that I now regret. I have acted in ways that I now regret. I know that now. I know that I could have and / or should have done better. I know this because they stayed with me for days, weeks, months, years … thinking about it… feeling guilty, feeling sorry .. so, what do I do now? I choose to grow … I pick up the pieces and try to do better. I try to manage my expectations, manage my actions and choose my words wisely. I try not to hurt other people’s feelings, even in tough situations. I realize that the truth is sometimes hard to hear, but if people need to hear it, you can choose to bring it in a respectful manner. Sometimes I need to hear it too. Do I like it? Not always …. but do I appreciate the honesty? I apologize … Yes … I am not yet where I would want to be when it comes to being fully aware and responsible for my actions and words, but I do have the feeling that I have grown through the years. And I am open and willing to keep growing, because I realize that is what I need to have a loving, creative, healthy, happy and fulfilling life 🙂

Will you grow with me?
